Part Three, Speakers

Each week, we delve into the realm of artificial intelligence, posing one burning question to three prominent AI programs. After three decades in the event industry, TPNI has discovered that AI offers valuable insights and innovative perspectives on the logistical and technological advancements for planning successful events.
We asked three AI programs—ChatGPT by Open AI, Gemini (previously Bard) from Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot—our question for this week: 

Earlier this week, we asked ChatGPT and Co-Pilot (check out their answers in Part One and Part Two!). Finally, we’re asking Gemini (previously Bard) from Google. Here’s what it came up with:

AI can be a powerful tool to improve both speaker management and the quality of session content at conferences. Here are a few ways it can be used:

Speaker Management:

  • Smart Scheduling and Matching: AI can analyze speaker expertise, availability, and presentation styles to find the perfect fit for each session. This can ensure a well-rounded agenda and avoid scheduling conflicts.
  • Personalized Onboarding: AI-powered chatbots can answer speaker questions, manage logistics, and provide reminders, freeing up human organizers for more strategic tasks.

Session Content:

  • Content Curation and Analysis: AI can analyze past conference data, industry trends, and social media conversations to identify hot topics and suggest relevant speakers.
  • Speaker Coaching and Feedback: AI can analyze speaker proposals and presentations, offering suggestions for improvement on clarity, structure, and engagement.

Overall, AI can help conference organizers:

  • Save Time: Automating tasks like scheduling and communication frees up valuable time for strategic planning.
  • Improve Efficiency: AI can optimize logistics and identify potential problems before they occur.
  • Personalize the Experience: AI can tailor content recommendations and speaker selection to attendee interests.

Here are some additional points to consider:

  • AI is still under development, and its effectiveness depends on the quality of the data it’s trained on.
  • The human touch is still important. AI should be used as a tool to assist organizers, not replace them completely.
